At the Su family's main residence.
After Lu Ming had examined the old Madam Shen Dianlan and confirmed she was fine, he was about to leave when he received a call from Su Wanran.
He answered.
There was no one speaking on the other end, only rapid panting.
Lu Ming frowned slightly and asked, "Wanran, is that you?"
Su Wanran's voice did come through, but it sounded very strange.
Su Wanran, as if restraining herself, panted, "Lu Ming, hurry, hurry back. Mengxin has been kidnapped."
"What?"
Lu Ming was stunned. "Wasn't Mengxin with you at the company? How could she have been kidnapped?"
Su Wanran said, "Someone disguised as one of our company employees came to my office, drugged Mengxin, and took her away. It was a woman, her skills were very... very good. Lu Ming, hurry back. If you're late, Mengxin will die."
By the end of her sentence, Su Wanran could no longer suppress her inner desires and let out a moan.
If an outsider heard it, they would surely have impure thoughts.
Lu Ming's brow furrowed. Judging by her voice, Su Wanran had likely also fallen victim to something.
He hung up the phone.
Without a word, Lu Ming walked out. Just as he reached the doorway, he saw Su Ru approaching with a bottle of wine, smiling. "Lu Ming, where are you in such a hurry to go? You helped my mother drive away the evil spirits, and I was just about to thank you."
Lu Ming ignored her and kept walking.
Su Ru was displeased and shouted, "Lu Ming, aren't you being too arrogant? I'm kindly inviting you for a drink, and if you don't want to drink, fine, but why the cold shoulder? You..."
Before she could finish, Lu Ming raised his hand and flicked a silver needle. It whizzed past Su Ru's cheek, drawing a thin scratch.
It was clear that Lu Ming had seen through Su Ru's trick.
A diversion!
A delay tactic!
It made sense. Why would she suddenly ask Lu Ming to drive away evil spirits? And the old Madam wasn't even sick; it was obviously an act.
Initially, Lu Ming couldn't understand why, but now he realized it was to lure him away, making it easier for others to target Su Wanran and Jiang Mengxin!
Inviting him for a drink?
Heh, clearly a stalling tactic! By the time the bottle of wine was finished, Jiang Mengxin would probably be dead.
Every second counted now!
As Lu Ming rushed back to the company, he dialed Long Wang's number and ordered directly, "Immediately locate Jiang Mengxin's phone and see where she's been taken!"
"Yes!" Long Wang immediately complied.
Seeing Lu Ming leave in a frantic hurry, Su Ru's heart bloomed with joy.
The plan was a success.
She poured herself a drink and gulped down a couple of mouthfuls, muttering to herself, "Lu Ming, aren't you very capable? Now I'll see if you can still be so cocky. When Jiang Mengxin is killed, you'll realize how weak and useless you are!"
Within fifteen minutes, Lu Ming had returned to the company.
He sprinted to the office and, upon pushing open the door, froze.
He saw Su Wanran lying on the sofa, her clothes disheveled, almost completely pulled off. She was burning with desire; her face was hot and red, her eyes glazed, and she was panting.
Clearly, she had been drugged.
Lu Ming immediately closed the door, then walked over, held Su Wanran down, and began to help her put her clothes back on while checking her physical condition.
"It's the Hehuan Powder!"
"How ruthless!"
Looking at Su Wanran, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, Lu Ming realized the situation was dire.
Hehuan Powder was a very 'vicious' drug that made one lose control of their brain, burning with desire, and unable to resist.
If it wasn't satisfied within two hours, one would die of dehydration.
However, with Lu Ming's medical skills, curing Su Wanran wasn't a major problem. It would only require patiently helping her detoxify and applying acupuncture, taking about 20 minutes.
The problem was... did he have the time?
Jiang Mengxin had been taken away. If Lu Ming didn't go to her immediately, Jiang Mengxin was highly likely to die.
Moreover, if Su Wanran was drugged, wouldn't Jiang Mengxin be too?
A moment's delay could lead to Jiang Mengxin suffering an unimaginable tragic fate.
Therefore, Lu Ming didn't have time to stay and detoxify Su Wanran. He had to rush to save Jiang Mengxin, but...
If Lu Ming left like this...
Wouldn't Su Wanran lose her life?
This was a choice deliberately presented to Lu Ming by the enemy.
Should he rush to save Jiang Mengxin, or stay to save Su Wanran? Time was extremely tight, and Lu Ming had no time for slow deliberation.
Two women, only one could be saved!
At this moment.
Su Wanran, enduring her desire, said with a sliver of consciousness, "Don't mind me, go, go save Mengxin!"
After saying this, Su Wanran completely lost control.
She lunged at Lu Ming, holding him tightly, wanting to possess him.
If an ordinary person faced such a choice, they would be utterly bewildered, with no right answer.
But Lu Ming was the Dragon Warlord.
A War God cannot err!
Jiang Mengxin had to be saved, and Su Wanran had to be saved too. Neither woman could die!
Lu Ming, barely thinking, used a handkerchief to tie Su Wanran's hands, then slung her over his shoulder and strode out.
The journey became quite eventful.
Lu Ming, carrying Su Wanran, walked swaggeringly through the company, instantly drawing a crowd. All the employees stopped in their tracks, looking in disbelief.
"What... what's going on?"
"Is Lu Ming going to kidnap our Director Su? Should we call the police?"
"Call the police for what! Lu Ming and Director Su have such a good relationship. They must be... playing role-play! I often do that with my wife at home, it's so thrilling."
"Playing at home is understandable, but doing it in front of so many people at the company is a bit much, isn't it?"
"What do you know? Just watch."
The employees looked at Lu Ming with knowing eyes, watching him carry Su Wanran out, thinking: Will they do it here in the company, or go out to a hotel?
Lu Ming had no time to bother with them. He carried Su Wanran out of the company, opened the car door, placed Su Wanran in the passenger seat, and bound her securely with rope in circles to prevent her from moving wildly.
Then, Lu Ming got in the car, started the engine, and floored the accelerator.
Long Wang had already located Jiang Mengxin's phone and traced the place she was taken to. He immediately sent the tracking signal to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming followed the signal, driving to rescue Jiang Mengxin.
Speed was essential!
He paid no mind to traffic lights, Lu Ming slammed the accelerator to the floor, ran red lights, drove in the wrong direction, and sped wildly!!!
Anyone who didn't know would have thought it was a scene from an overseas blockbuster.
This behavior was already outlandish enough, but what followed was even more incredible!
Seeing that Su Wanran was nearing her limit, breaking out in a cold sweat, and would soon suffer severe dehydration if not treated, Lu Ming did something that no ordinary person would dare to imagine or attempt.
He drove with one hand!
Driving with his left hand, he used his right hand to retrieve silver needles and administer acupuncture to Su Wanran, detoxifying her!
Left hand round, right hand square, multitasking.
A technique that originally only appeared in martial arts novels, the dual-wielding combat technique – Lu Ming realized it in real life!
